I requested a budget-friendly fix from my Stitch Fix stylist this month, and Layla was off to a wonderful start! The highest-priced item was a dress with price tag of $64. If you haven't seen the first page of this post yet, you definitely want to start there. If you already checked out the first three items and want to see what else Layla sent my way, let's keep going!

Webber Button Detail Blouse
I was immediately intrigued by the Webber Button Detail Blouse from 41Hawthorn ($58) that Layla included in my Stitch Fix shipment. It was a little more professional than I usually wear to work in a kindergarten classroom, but I loved styling the blouse. I kept the look clean and simple it with a tall pair of Drew Fit black flare leg pants from the Limited, a simple statement necklace (similar) and my silver Kate Spade watch. I also a pair of black heeled booties (similar).
Sometimes I wish I had an executive office job just so I could dress like this for work every day. The only occasion I would have to wear this outfit at school is for Parent Night or conferences. I have already have a closet full of clothes that work perfectly for those events so I decided to return the Webber Button Detail Blouse, but I loved trying it on. If you dress in traditional professional attire for work, I highly recommend this item. It's an instant classic for your wardrobe.
Breyson Pleated Tab Sleeve Blouse
I was completely excited to try on the coral Breyson Pleated Tab Sleeve Blouse from 41Hawthorn ($37) when I opened my Stitch Fix box and saw it. I adore the color coral and this blouse was a beautiful pinky-orange shade. I was extra excited because I received a yellow sleeveless version of the blouse in my July Stitch Fix shipment and I have worn that blouse more times than I can count!
I paired the blouse with a pair of white capri pants (similar), my silver Kate Spade watch, my white Mother of Pearl Elisa necklace from Kendra Scott, and a pair of white sandals. The colors and accessories looked great together.
The blouse … well, it just wasn't quite my style.
I know it seems like I look great in everything my stylist sends, but I can assure you that is not the case. Even though this blouse was an extra small, I was drowning in it. There was so much fabric, which added a lot of bulk and made me look heavier. If you can believe it, I'm not pregnant. Nor have I gained 10 pounds in the past month.
I'm just wearing a blouse that doesn't work for my body type.
If I could cross my arms in front of me all day, I would be totally fine wearing this blouse. But since that's not a feasible option, I decided to return the Breyson Pleated Tab Sleeve Blouse.
I am certain that there are some women who can totally rock a flowy blouse and pair it with a belt to show off all their assets. If you are one of those people, I would encourage you to pin it for your stylist. It has a great blouse and I love the color.
If you have my body type, you should pin the sleeveless version instead. You can read more about the Breyson Split Neck Pleated Sleeveless Blouse in this blog post.

My Stitch Fix Wardrobe for Fall
Thanks to Stitch Fix, I will be putting my most fashionable foot forward this fall. My past fixes for the season have been spectacular as well. Click any image below to see more photos.
I love the dress that you kept this month and it’s going to be perfect for transitioning into fall. The Webber blouse looked so good on you but I can understand why you didn’t keep it since you wouldn’t have a lot of work opportunities to wear it. I’m pinning it because it would be perfect for me to wear to school since I teach older kids. Thanks for hosting the link-up!
I’m glad you are pinning the blouse. SOMEbody should be able to wear that gorgeous top to work!
I’m so glad you kept the dress! It looks great with tights and boots!
Thank you Jessica!
That dress is so pretty and so versatile. I don’t know how you decide, all your items are so pretty
Thank you, Chris! It’s never an easy decision, but I try to only keep the pieces that I really, truly LOVE.
Wow, you got some great items in this box. I absolutely adore that dress on you! So cute the way that you styled it.
Thanks for the tip on the extenders. I would love to hear more about them and see the different ones that you have/ways that they can be styled.
Hi Pam,
I’ve worn the extenders a few times in previous Stitch Fix posts, but I’ll try to blog more about them in the future. So glad to know that you are interested in them. Thank you for the feedback!
The dress is my favorite. I am obsessed with the Grace and Lace extenders now and you have convinced me I need them :) Thanks for the fun giveaway!
YES! The Grace and Lace Extenders are my favorite! They’re a unique way to dress up any outfit.
The dress was the big winner. And, I so enjoyed seeing ways that one could style it. and, I am going to need to take a look at the Grace & Lace extenders as well. That creates a totally new look.
Thanks for the inspiration … And for the give-away.
You are very welcome, Connie! I love trying to find new ways to style one piece of clothing. It helps my wardrobe to grow without having to invest in extra pieces of clothing!
I love your whole fix, Maria! It screams you! :)
Thank you Tina! It certainly is exactly my style :)
I’ve heard about stitch fix for so long and finally decided to give it a go. I hope I get something I like!
I hope you get 5 items that you absolutely love! I’ll cross my fingers for you :)
I love the Webber Button Detail Blouse, I wish I saw more things like this in my fixes!!!
The blouse is absolutely gorgeous. I work in a business professional environment so this blouse is getting pinned to my Stitch Fix board.
Hi Maria! I am looking forward to receiving my second stitch fix next week : )
Can I ask you what range you set as your answer to: “How much would you ideally spend on items in each of the following categories?” in your style profile? I go back and forth on what to add to my own. Thank you!
I love the dress and how you styled it!
